Rice’s admit rate will probably dip below Pomona’s this year considering the spike in ED apps this past autumn.
-That will NEVER happen. Rice’s admit rate has always been around 18-22%. Pomona’s has always been decreasing. Look at the New York Time’s Early Decision chart. Pomona’s ED rate boomed up 33%, one of the biggest on the list. Granted, Rice is not on it, but I doubt it’ll be in the 33% boom, and I doubt it’ll have a selectivity of less than 25% for ED1.

Oh, and, nostalgicwidsom: please use your wisdom and visit the thread where it’s discussed how Rice’s ED admit rate was, in fact, less than 25% this year ;)

There were 1,231 ED applicants to Rice. How many at Pomona? 304. Yes, a 33% “boom” from last year’s record of 228. In a year, nearly 80 whole people learned about Pomona. Congratulations!
